This is not the first time Fan Qingqing has come to the Camel Mountain base, but it is the first time she has seen the legendary and mysterious 'No. 9 Laboratory'. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

'No. 9 Laboratory', within the Xingchen Group, is also known to only a few people, although many people know that this laboratory is located at the address of the original scientific research base in Camel Mountain, but few people have really seen it.

As the scientific research department moved out of Camel Mountain, the Camel Mountain base began to fall into the desert and gradually disappeared from the public eye, but here, the most elite and loyal troops are stationed, with the world's top scientific research laboratories and talents.

He Ping, deputy director of the scientific research department and leader of the comet group, is now the head of the base. And most of the members of the comet group are here.

They have only one job, to study alien mysterious substances and master extraterrestrial technology.

It sounds so bizarre, just like the legendary 'Area 51' in the United States, but in fact, it's more mysterious than the so-called 'Area 51'.

Entering the long corridor, I took the car to an empty space, which was the second door of the laboratory. Soldiers who usually have a squad are on guard here.

After tedious verification, Li Mo and his party were approved and took the elevator to go deep underground. Fan Qingqing estimated that at least forty or fifty meters down, and the elevator finally stopped.

Stepping out of the elevator, it was another space similar to just now, and another squad of soldiers was on guard.

Turning left and right, when Fan Qingqing felt a little dizzy, everyone finally came to their destination. A huge underground space that could almost be a 'miracle'. Estimated to be more than 2,000 square meters, rows of sophisticated instruments are at work here, a staff member dressed in white walks around, and occasionally a slight machine rattle can be heard.

"This is 'Lab Nine'?" Fan Qingqing was stunned for a moment and asked in a low voice. Rao was prepared in her heart, or was she frightened by this scientific research base hidden deep underground. In the past few years, Li Mo doesn't know how much manpower, material and financial resources have been used to build this huge base?

"Sort of!" Li Mo smiled slightly and said softly. His gaze was on several men in white coats who had hurried up.

Fan Qingqing's eyebrows frowned slightly, she didn't understand what Li Mo's 'sort of' meant. Yes yes, no yes no.

However, she also noticed that someone was coming, so she didn't ask. A wise woman knows how to judge the situation.

"Boss......" He Ping still looked polite with glasses, and when he saw Li Mo, this young man's eyes turned a little red.

Li Mo couldn't help but stretch out his hands and just shook the other party's hand. He understood He Ping's feelings at the moment. After all, a group of people were all 'raised' by Li Mo at the beginning, and it was Li Mo who sent them to study abroad. So in the minds of these former members of the Young Eagle Group, Li Mo is their elder.

After the establishment of the 'No. 9 Laboratory', He Ping spent most of his time here. I can't see Li Mo a few times a year.

He Ping and Fan Qingqing are not familiar with each other, Li Mo introduced them to the two, and as for the other Abic, he is an old acquaintance and does not need a special introduction.

The group did not disturb the work of those scientific researchers in the hall, and those scientific researchers did not even raise their eyelids except for a few who were close, for them, Li Mo's identity was not important at all compared to the experiment in his hand.

In Fan Qingqing's eyes, there is another layer of mystery and curiosity here.

When I came to He Ping's office, although it was very simple, it was not the kind of cave that everyone remembered, except that there were no windows, the others were similar to the offices in the city.

"He Ping, this time I came mainly because you reported last year that you were conducting nuclear power research. Minister Abic and I came to see what you did. Li Mo was not polite, and directly expressed his intentions.

He Ping was stunned for a moment, then ran out, and after a while, he brought a person, who seemed to be also a member of the comet group.

"Boss, this is Xu Dong, who is the person in charge of the field related to nuclear power. We'll let him explain it to you and Minister Abic. ”

Xu Dong is also a young man with a delicate face who looks similar to an ordinary college student, but the sharp energy on his body is faintly penetrating. And those bright eyes, bottomless, look at it, and you can fall into it.

"Freak!" Fan Qingqing muttered in her heart.

Anyone who sees Xu Dong may think that the other party is not simple, but they will not associate it with a top scientific researcher. However, in this laboratory, Xu Dong is the direct person in charge of a large project.

"Boss, first of all, I need to explain what nuclear power is. Nuclear power is the use of nuclear reactions to generate energy, and then to obtain power. At present, the most widely used nuclear power in the world is nuclear reactors, that is, the power systems used in aircraft carriers, submarines and cruisers, including nuclear power plants, which are also a type of nuclear power. What our group is studying is the same as the 'aircraft nuclear power plan' studied by the United States and the Soviet Union in the 50s, that is, the nuclear power board is put on the aircraft, so as to obtain the speed and range advantages of the aircraft. ”

"In the 50s of the last century, the United States and the Soviet Union have developed similar Tu-119 and NB-36H bombers, their weight is far more than that of today's strategic bombers, and the range is more than several times, and they can even fly directly around the earth without landing. However, this kind of 'aircraft nuclear power program' was finally abandoned, the main reason was that it could not solve nuclear radiation, a 'nuclear-powered aircraft' was too dangerous, and coupled with the application of intercontinental missiles, the United States and the Soviet Union terminated this program. But for us, their biggest problem is the easiest problem for us to solve. That is to effectively prevent and control nuclear radiation. ”

Li Mo and Ebic immediately understood Xu Dong's words, the advantage of 'Laboratory No. 9' was that it had mastered the Y substance that could absorb converted radiation.

"We are working on nuclear power not to fit bombers, but to put fighters. Therefore, there are strict requirements for the size and weight of nuclear reactors. Fortunately, we have the substance, so we don't need to put a two-meter-long, 10-centimeter-thick protective layer on the nuclear reactor, and we can even convert the 'nuclear reactor' into a perpetual motion machine. Speaking of this, Xu Dong's face was also a little red, and he was excited.

"Perpetual motion machine?" Li Mo couldn't help but be stunned.

Xu Dong paused and smiled a little embarrassedly, "Of course it is not a perpetual motion machine in the general sense, and it is impossible to create a first-class perpetual motion machine and a second-class perpetual motion machine with the current scientific research technology." In fact, the perpetual motion machine I am talking about is also similar to the second type of perpetual motion machine, which is a machine that can fill nuclear raw materials by itself by converting rays from nature and the universe into y. This 'perpetual motion machine' also has limitations. ”

"So do you have any practical technology for the 'nuclear power engine'?" Li Moyan didn't continue to dwell on this issue, but asked directly.

Nuclear power can be carried on ships and submarines, and naturally it can also be carried on airplanes, but because of the limitations of modern science and technology, it has not yet reached the point of maturity. In practice, it is necessary to pay more attention to the price ratio of its surname.

"Boss, you can come and see me." Xu Dong did not answer directly, but buried an introduction.

The curious crowd followed Xu Dong to a 100-square-meter space. There are three or four researchers working here. As soon as Li Mo and the others came, their eyes were fixed on a strange-looking machine in the center of the space.

The machine does not look very large, it is about 2 meters long and almost a meter in diameter. This is the result of Li Mo's visual inspection.

The size of the machine is a cylinder, not regular, but similar to a dumbbell.

On this machine, there are all kinds of metal pipes of different thicknesses, which look a little messy.

"This can't be what you call a 'nuclear engine', is it?" Li Mo asked with some surprise. He'd seen the engines of other fighters, and they were about that big. But it's nuclear-powered. That is, this machine is a complete nuclear reactor. And it's the kind that doesn't require a protective layer.

"The boss guessed right, this is our latest research result, a perfect 'nuclear-powered engine'." Xu Dong said proudly.

"This engine we call 'cosmic wind', a nuclear-powered engine that generates thrust by ejecting a stream of high-speed particles outward through a controlled fission reaction. Nuclear fuel rods containing 235% uranium 6% are used, and a substance that absorbs radiation and heat is added to achieve a perfect balance, and there is no need to add coolant like other nuclear reactors, and there is no need for other protective layers, because the radiation emitted by this engine is only 47% of that of nature, and it is safer to even sit in an airplane than to stay on the ground. On this engine, the most difficult thing to overcome is the magnetic field control device, that is, the nozzle part. This is similar to the ion engines used more in astronautics, but the 'cosmic wind' has more thrust than ion engines that rely on electricity and heat, and it does not take a long time to accelerate the body to a higher speed through very small accelerations......

Xu Dong pointed to the 'cosmic wind' and talked eloquently to a few people. And He Ping on the side showed a wry smile. Because he is now, whether it is Xu Dong, the designer, or Li Mo, a few visitors, they have all fallen into it.

But he can also understand, after all, the significance of this engine is too great. It's almost the same as the power of UFOs and spaceships in science fiction. Once equipped with a fighter, as long as the fighter's fuselage materials and design are correct, it can fly in the sky indefinitely until the nuclear materials are exhausted. Think about it, what kind of impact will a fighter with a range of more than tens of thousands of kilometers have? And what about when it goes faster than Mach 5? That's simply impossible to shoot down.
